After the leaked images yesterday for the new title of the series Thief, emerged today the first details on the game from the American magazine Game Informer. We look at what to expect from the game.

First of all, the magazine informs us, confirming what mentioned in the previous news, that the game is entitled simply Thief , will be developed by Eidos Montreal and will represent a verio and just reboot, or "reinvention" as says the development team, stealth series. The game is expected on the market in 2014 on PC and next-generation consoles.

The protagonist will once again Garrett that they will present to our eyes with a scar on his face that he wants to represent the effects of its past. See him act in an industrial metropolis and Gothic style, now adrift because upset by social tensions. The protagonist will notice immediately what the place is sinking into oblivion: the population was decimated by disease and famine that led people to starve. As if that wasn't enough we'll soon know who caused everything: a treacherous man called Baron, who subjugated the entire city with its tyranny.

The game begins with Garrett reaches Stonemarket district that hiding in the back of a wagon while listening to a conversation about Theodore Eastwick, the most important architect of the city and very wealthy man. The guards continue to talk opining with gossip about the man in question and saying that assiduously frequeenta a brothel, the Casa dei Fiori. At this point, Garrett throws down a bottle to distract the guards and go undisturbed for the neighborhood's rooftops, jumping into a window to reach the brothel. Inside the brothel, the protagonist loses sight of the man who gets mixed up in the crowd. In this moment hears another conversation and discovers that there is a safe containing valuables and a register where they collected clues on where Eastwick is headed. Before continuing to follow the man, Garrett will stop at robbing the safe.

Here comes into play a mini-game which will be used for opening the lock. While Garrett has pledged to break open the lock, is interrupted by the arrival of some guards and rolls through a dark corner to escape. Calm the waters, takes the money and escapes through a secret passage that an' his ability, through the Focus. Relies on the trail of Eastwick and discovers that this is looking at a wall with a corresponding symbol to an amulet held by the architect. Examining the wall, Eastwick activates a mechanism that will activate the Medallion somehow, but meanwhile the protagonist will be able, through the ability to Focus, to steal this object to the architect that known the incident, fails to carry out its task.

Just about Focus, this ability will enable us to identify inherent in objects such as tubes that you can climb or even slow down the tempo to pick pockets more easily the victims as in the case of the architect.

This skill can also be used against enemies to identify weaknesses glazed be developed to increase the effects.  Also included are sessions in which we will have to break open or open crates to collect treasures and money that we can spend at the end of each mission, to improve some skills or improve certain equipment in our possession. The protagonist will have provided a sort of multi-purpose arch with freeze arrows or producing smoke to provide coverage. The arc will have its also a grappling hook which can only be used on certain objects.

To continue unscathed into the adventure, Garrett must make use of all its stealth capability. According to what was said by the developers, each scenario will lead to many opportunities to hide and take sneak up enemies. We can make different choices to carry out any mission and will then critically explore carefully each setting in order to find the most appropriate places to hide and continue undisturbed whenever possible.

The plot follows a logical thread, i.e. There will be no turnoffs that take us to different conclusions, however the developers state that we can accomplish a mission in many ways and following different roads. Each zone will have several entrances and exits: in fact the beauty of Thief not reseated, according to what has been said, only in its setting and what from this it follows, but also in many other aspects, including especially the structure of the game and the gameplay.

Regarding the way to lead the adventure, we will soon realize that Garrett will not be able to cope with armies of guards, even if developers do not exclude the possibility of making the protagonist also skillful in this aspect so as to fascinate gamers who prefer more frantic combat. Remain of primary importance the more stealthy approach. The guards, once alerted, try hiding places or call reinforcements and several enemies will have different features that we will learn to know as you progress in the game and by observing the movements.

The game mechanics are the same as the original series: we will play with the first-person view and we will move as a sort of Sam Fisher of the middle ages. The Chief Executive of Eidos Montreal Stephane D Astous said "C on Thief we are handling a real precious stone. The fans of the series remember very well the original games and we want to preserve that essence, which we do very well here at Eidos Montreal. At the same time we want that Thief like it even to an audience next-gen. Our aim is to offer players the imagination to be Garrett, the master thief, and we are developing the game around this core ".

With this statement closes the information disseminated today, but please continue to follow us on other details that shouldn't delay.
